Govt. Renews Air Safety Contract with Wicks

The government has renewed a contract with the U.S.-based Wicks Group to help the country retain its air safety ranking.

The Wicks Group had assisted the DGCA and the FAA in April last year restored India’s safety ranking to Category-I, implying the country is meeting the international standards in terms of civil aviation safety oversight.

The current contract is aimed at bringing in more systemic improvements in the area of operation, airworthiness and licensing.
